Hopelessness can be crippling. Having to endure debilitating physical and emotional conditions only fuels hopelessness further and worsens patients' emotional states. Chronic pain, mental health woes, and disease can strip patients of their will to get better and be an obstacle for seeking help and treatment.

Our connection to the world around us exists in a delicate bundle of nerves sheathed by a protective column of bone. The canal that guards this communication superhighway channel it down the length of the back, feeding and receiving information to and from every corner of our bodies. What happens when this continuum of densely packed nerves is disrupted, when the channel that houses our spinal cord and is designed to protect it, is the same thing that obstructs it?

Benign or malignant, the word tumor elicits fear in even the most tenacious of hearts. Due to its association with cancer, tumors are notoriously known for the specific danger they can entail for anyone unlucky enough to come into their sights. Even benign tumors, while not cancerous, can have life-threatening complications. A tumor on the spinal cord, for example, can lead to serious pain, spinal instability, and even vertebral fractures. They affect neurological function by pushing on the spinal cord or nerve root and can result in permanent disabilities. Spinal tumors can change their lives forever.
